Modeling and Stability Analysis of Inverter-Based Resources

<p>Renewable energy sources interface with the ac grids via inverters are termed inverter-based resources (IBRs). They are replacing traditional fossil fuel-based synchronous generators at a dazzling speed. In turn, unprecedented dynamic events have occurred, threatening power grid reliability. <strong>Modeling and Stability Analysis of Inverter-Based Resources</strong> provides a fundamental understanding of IBR dynamics.</p><p>Developing reliability solutions requires a thorough understanding of challenges, and in this case, IBR-associated dynamics. Modeling and stability analysis play an indispensable role in revealing a mechanism of dynamics. This book covers the essential techniques of dynamic model building for IBRs, including type-3 wind farms, type-4 wind farms, and solar photovoltaics. Besides modeling, this book offers readers the techniques of stability analysis. The text includes three parts. Part 1 concentrates on tools, including electromagnetic transient simulation, analysis, and measurement-based modeling. Part 2 focuses on IBR modeling and analysis details. Part 3 highlights generalized dynamic circuit representation—a unified modeling framework for dynamic and harmonic analysis.</p><p>This topic of IBR dynamic modeling and stability analysis is interesting, challenging, and intriguing. The authors have led the effort of publishing the 2020 IEEE Power and Energy Society’s TR-80 taskforce report “Wind Energy Systems Subsynchronous Oscillations: Modeling and Events," and the two taskforce papers on investigation of real-world IBR dynamic events. In this book, the authors share with readers many insights into modeling and analysis for real-world IBR dynamic events investigation.</p>
